462 - Left in room
I have in my office a gray/green canvas shirt jacket from Coffeeshop, size "S". I have hung it on the back of my door. If it belongs to someone coming to the graduation party on Sunday, let me know and I will bring it over.

462 - Last PPT
Sorry about the late date - but then again, this is probably not something you really need to capture. I have a little bit of a wrapup to do, and I have put the slides in VISTA.
Playlist - This week and last
Last week, in LIS 415, I played music from several albums of The Seldom Scene, a Maryland-based bluegrass band. Few of the original members are in the band currently, but the albums from which I selected represent the Seldom Scene at their zenith. More at Wikipedia. This week I am playing The Oyster Band, based in Kent (England). We have followed this band since their beginnings as Fiddler's Dram, and hosted them on our living room floor in the days when they had no money. Raucous but intelligent, fine musicians, and with a fervent fan base, they do a great live show. Their home page and Wikipedia will tell you more. I was planning on adding a few cuts from the blessed Richard Thompson, but I only have them on my iPod.

415 - Assignment 5
As I have been revising, I have noticed that some of you have neglected to cite tables in your hierarchies. For example, in the literature questions, I want to see where your decisions came from - so in LCC I would expect to see a citation to Table P-PZ40 or Table H9, or in Dewey to Table 1 or Table 3A, and so on. It's not enough to give me a number. I am also looking for how you constructed that number.

415 - Friday
On Friday, I will finish up the classification part, and then work on the pieces of metadata that went missing when I lost my voice. So, in case you have forgotten, those slides are available in the week marked "21 September 27 September" in Moodle.
